PopOS Scaling multiple monitors individually
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have the latest PopOS with the NVIDIA 410 drivers running. I set up two monitors:
The 2nd monitor has 2160p, whereas the 1st has 1080p. I just want to scale the 2nd monitor (150% or 200%). The settings only offer 200%. If I change the scaling of monitor 2 to 200% the 1st monitor also scales to 200% which makes it unusable. I want to only scale the 2nd, leaving the 1080p as is. Altering the HiDPI daemon settings below did not lead to anything usable.
I also tried configuring it manually with xrandr --scale but it fails with an error. Just scaling the font is not enough, especially when using a VM inside.
Are there any suggestions?
Edit:
using xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --output DP-1 --primary --mode 3840x2160 --transform "1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1" --left-of HDMI-0 or trying some Nvidia Settings in their GUI leads to a blurry desktop.
